There is concern about palm oil being used in it in the context of deforestation. That is a global concern.

I have a question for the Society of the Irish Motor Industry. The advantages of electric vehicles were referred to. None of my kids wanted to get a car. When the first one had a child, he had to get a car. Unfortunately, he did not buy an electric car. He has one now. Is there anything we can do in terms of grants for electric vehicles? My constituency is primarily urban in nature, but there are also huge rural areas within it. With the lack of reliability of public transport, some people need cars. How could we make sure that they choose electric cars rather than those that run on fossil fuels?
